Stamp A Stack of Cards on Feb. 26th!

Spring Break is 15 school days away and I could not be more excited! My brother, Skip, is flying in for the week and my girls cannot wait to see him.  I'll be getting my laugh on for sure, he is the funniest person I know and he'll have me laughing pretty much nonstop when he's here.  Can. Not. Wait!

Anyway, with Spring Break on the brain, I really can't get away from using pink in my cards lately. I was laughing at myself when I'd finally decided on the 3 cards we'll make this coming Saturday. They all have a form of pink in them. Well, lemme just show them to you:

Valentine's Day Cards

This post took me long enough, doncha think? Geez.  So I had a class last Saturday and we made Valentine's Day cards.  The idea for these cards came from Andrea Walford - a Canadian Stampin' Up demonstrator who offers workshops and classes where she has worked out every single detail....cost, supplies, the whole gambit...it's very handy.  I'll sometimes do a variation if I don't particulaly like every card design--but when I'm rushing to get my monthly class together, I sometimes like that all the details are worked out for me.  So here are a few of them:

These cards use the Happy Heart stamp set from Stampin' Up. I used a Pretty in Pink epoxy brad. Colors are Pretty in Pink and Ruby Red.

Supplies: Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Ruby Red, Pretty in Pink

Ink: Soft Suede, Ruby Red, Pretty in Pink

Accessories: Dot embossing folder, corduroy button, scallop edge punch, corner rounder

Here's a variation on this card using the Pinking Hearts border punch and a filigree brad instead.

Still haven't decided on what Valentine goody I'm going to stamp for my co-workers...or my kiddos for that matter.  We have a HUGE surprise for them for Valentine's Day--I'll be sure to blog about it next weekend.  SO FUN!!!

35 days until I leave for the UK!!! :)
